The Ghost Bear Pet is one of the most unique and profitable pets available during the Grow a Garden Halloween event. This rare pet isn’t just a collectible; it’s an economic engine for your garden. This guide covers everything you need to know about getting the Ghost Bear Pet and mastering its valuable “Boo!” ability.
What is the Ghost Bear Pet?
The Ghost Bear Pet is a rare, event-limited pet introduced in the Ghoul Garden Halloween update. Its primary purpose is to generate wealth and event progress by applying a special Spooky Mutation effect to your plants, making it a highly sought-after companion for serious farmers.
How to Get the Ghost Bear Pet
Acquiring the Ghost Bear requires timing, currency, and a bit of luck due to the shop’s mechanics.
1. Wait for the Halloween Night Event
The Creepy Critters Shop, which sells the Ghost Bear, only appears during the Halloween Night weather event in the game.
2. Find the Creepy Critters Shop
When Halloween Night is active, head to the center of the map to find the temporary Creepy Critters Shop.
Shop Schedule: The shop spawns for only 10 minutes at the start of every in-game hour.
Limited Stock: The shop’s inventory is limited and rotates, meaning the Ghost Bear will not always be available.
3. Purchase the Ghost Bear
If the Ghost Bear is in stock, you can purchase it using one of two currencies:
Candy Corn Price: 70 Candy Corn
Robux Price: 267 Robux (a direct purchase option)
To earn Candy Corn, participate in event activities like filling the Witch’s Cauldron with fruit or feeding the Ancient Jack O’ Lantern.
Ghost Bear Ability: “Boo!” Explained
The Ghost Bear’s true value lies in its unique ability, which activates automatically.
Ability Name: Boo!
Activation: The ability triggers approximately every twenty minutes.
What Does the “Boo!” Ability Do?
The “Boo!” ability targets a random plant in your garden and applies the Spooky Mutation effect.
Visual Effect: The mutated plant will be surrounded by small, floating ghost particles.
Value Increase: The plant’s sell value is increased by up to 8x its original worth.
Event Utility: These mutated plants can also be handed in to the Jack O’ Lantern (which appears during the Garden Ghoul event) for additional special rewards.
This ability provides a consistent source of high-value crops, significantly boosting your in-game wealth and event progression.
Why the Ghost Bear Pet is a Game-Changer
The Ghost Bear is considered a top-tier pet for the Halloween event for several key reasons:
Passive Income: It automatically generates high-value crops without any active effort from the player.
Event Synergy: The Spooky Mutation effect is directly tied to event mechanics, helping you earn more Candy Corn and rewards from the Jack O’ Lantern.
Exclusive Access: As a limited-time shop pet with a strict spawn schedule, it is a rare and prestigious acquisition.
FAQ
Q: Can I get the Ghost Bear after the Halloween event?
A: No. The Ghost Bear, the Creepy Critters Shop, and the Halloween Night event are all limited-time. You must acquire it before the event ends.
Q: How often does the Creepy Critters Shop appear?
A: It spawns for 10 minutes at the start of every in-game hour during the Halloween Night weather.
Q: Does the “Boo!” ability affect every plant?

A: This depends on your playstyle. If you have time to farm Candy Corn, that is the free option. If you want to skip the grind and have Robux, the direct purchase is convenient, especially given the shop’s limited stock.
